Love Poem: Triumph

Triumph

it would have been so easy
to let my body overrule my heart
passion flowing like a sweet wine

past tastes remain bittersweet
large chunks of sediment--dregs poured out
my heart will never again
pay the price that passion charges

this time love will grow
building already like a summer monsoon
intense with electrical energy 

this time I will get it right
when it all comes together
simultaneously--both will triumph
